An input color signal is converted into a color signal representing a color which is visually closer to a color represented by the input color signal by performing gamut mapping processing based on the visual characteristics of humans. An image processing method includes the steps of inputting color signals, and performing gamut mapping processing in which the input color signal is converted into a color signal having a hue different from the hue of the input color signal based on a locus set corresponding to the hue and color saturation of the input color signal in color space.

Disclosed are a highly versatile image processing method and apparatus wherein it is possible to preview an image that takes into account a change in the color reproduction characteristic of an output device with the passage of time, as well as a computer readable memory storing a program for executing this preview processing. A printer that outputs an image is calibrated in regard to its image output characteristic and a set of one-dimensional LUTs that conforms to the color reproduction characteristic of the printer is generated. On the basis of the set of one-dimensional LUTs, the content of a set of one-dimensional LUTs, which is used when PCS data that has been stored in a profile corresponding to the printer is converted to data dependent upon the printer, is modified, and another set of one-dimensional LUTs, which is used when data dependent upon the printer is converted to PCS data, is modified.

An object of this invention is to improve the operability of color adjustment by using a simple hardware arrangement which performs only a matrix arithmetic operation having matrix coefficients properly determined in accordance with adjustment amounts designated from an operation unit for adjusting three variables as lightness, saturation, and hue. In the constitution of this invention, an image input unit inputs a color input signal, and a color conversion unit extracts the minimum value from the input color signal for each pixel, obtaining a difference signal of the input color signal and the extracted minimum value signal. The obtained difference signal is converted in matrix in accordance with matrix conversion coefficients generated by a matrix conversion coefficient unit in correspondence with the adjustment amounts of the adjustment items of an operation unit for adjusting three variables as lightness, hue, and saturation.

An image processing apparatus extracts an edge or line portion of an image, judges grayness of the image, and processes the image according to outputs of the means used for the edge- or line-extraction and grayness-determination. The further processing may, for example, comprise undercolor removal and/or black-addition. Edge extraction can be performed by use of a Laplacian. The grayness can be judged by, for example, providing a colorlessness signal formed from two color component signals. Extraction of a line region, instead of Laplacian edge extraction, can be performed, for example, by use of an Hadamard transformation. Also, the invention more generally includes detecting grayness of an image, detecting other characteristics of the image, and judging additional characteristics of the image according to the first two determinations.
